10 lug wheels

Looking to buy some 10 lug wheels for my 97 f350 dually and was wondering if all aluminum wheels would be fine with the adapters or do I need to get a set of steels for the inners?

No clue, but if aluminum will work for a 18 wheeler, it will definitely work for our little trucks!

I thought I saw somewhere about aluminum wheels being too thin and causing the lug nuts to not fit but I'm going with aftermarket lug nuts anyways so I guess I'll just get them and go from there. I wish someone who has a set of 10 lugs installed would chime in I'd like to see some tire options

aluminum rims are a lot thicker than steel.
so if you want to run aluminum inners, you will have to run longer studs to compensate for the thicker rims.

I run 10 lug wheels, all aluminum.

The adapter you'll need to use to run them have longer studs and a hub lip to account for using two aluminum wheels. As mentioned, they're thicker so they need longer studs to mount properly.

I bought my wheels and adapters from buytruckwheels.com

I picked up 2 used inners from a local truck repair shop for cheap. Like 100 a wheel. Might be worth looking around your area to see what's available.

Also, get the balance beads tossed in. Its a bag of beads that roll around inside the tire and constantly keep it balanced.

I run Falken BI850 tires. Excellent all terrain tread and no traction issues
